My pvc Sewer Line is fine except for the part that is under my tree, it is bending there. How much should digging about 8-10 feet down and correcting this cost?

Back hoe rental usally cost around $50 per hr. You will probably need about 4 hours. Also the guy fixing the linewill probably charge $200 or more. I would just rent the hoe and do it myself. Its not a hard fix. A new section of pipe and 2 repair collars . Uncover it and cut out the sagging piece yourself. Save big bucks. Thier going to charge you to remove the tree too. One more thing . If that line is that deep it can get scarry down in the trench working on that pipe. Know your limitations. You will have to redirect the line if you dont want the tree to go.

Cost is difficult to give without seeing it. Is it something you could dig yourself? If you do be sure to shore up both sides of the excavation. Also, pvc pipe is flixible and unless it is under stress then it might be just fine and will not need maintenance.
